description:
  <p>In 1983 during the height of the Cold War, tensions escalate to a breaking point as the Soviet Union, misinterpreting NATO's Able Archer 83 exercise as a genuine mobilisation for a surprise nuclear attack, decides to launch a pre-emptive conventional strike. On the 9th of November, Soviet forces commence a sudden and overwhelming invasion of Finland and Norway, aiming to secure strategic territories and disrupt NATO's northern flank before it can organize an effective response.</p>
